Philosophy of Engineering and Artifact in the Digital Age
Our world became engineered, remaining, nevertheless, human. Through the philosophy of engineering, both Engineering and Philosophy are profoundly involved in the transcendental curve of the debates on the future of humankind in the Era of the Artifacts, brought by the emergent technologies of robotics, genetic engineering and nanotechnology. In the Era-Just-Before-Singularity, while engineering is improved by philosophy (as Peter Simons has demonstrated), the “respected system of perplexities we call philosophy” (Jorge Luis Borges) are encouraged by engineering. This book is an anthology of papers presented during PHEADE 2009 (Philosophy of Engineering and Artifact in the Digital Era—www.goldenideashome.com/pheade2009/)—an exploratory workshop organized in the mythical county of Bucovina (in the northern Romania). Registered by The Reasoner as one of the first East European meetings of Philosophers and Engineers of the third millennium, the event was organized by the Romanian Society for Philosophy, Engineering and Technoethics, in an original attempt to redefine the engineered future of the humankind.
The Human Being in Contemporary Philosophical Conceptions
This book is a collection of the selected proceedings of the 4th International Conference “Human Being in Contemporary Philosophical Conceptions,” which was held under the patronage of UNESCO at Volgograd State University (Russia) on May 28–31, 2007. In the letter to the organizers, Mr. Koïchiro Matsuura wrote: “I should like to congratulate you on this important initiative to promote philosophical reflection, which is one of the central objectives of UNESCO’s Intersectoral Strategy on Philosophy.” There is an interesting fact: the 19th World Congress of Philosophy in Moscow (1993) had no session on philosophical anthropology, the next Congress in Boston (1998) had one such sess...
Model-Based Reasoning in Science, Technology, and Medicine
The volume is based on papers presented at the international conference on Model-Based Reasoning in Science and Medicine held in China in 2006. The presentations explore how scientific thinking uses models and explanatory reasoning to produce creative changes in theories and concepts. The contributions to the book are written by researchers active in the area of creative reasoning in science and technology. They include the subject area’s most recent results and achievements.
Model-Based Reasoning in Science and Technology
Systematically presented to enhance the feasibility of fuzzy models, this book introduces the novel concept of a fuzzy network whose nodes are rule bases and their interconnections are interactions between rule bases in the form of outputs fed as inputs.

Robot Ethics 2.0
The robot population is rising on Earth and other planets. (Mars is inhabited entirely by robots.) As robots slip into more domains of human life--from the operating room to the bedroom--they take on our morally important tasks and decisions, as well as create new risks from psychological to physical. This makes it all the more urgent to study their ethical, legal, and policy impacts. To help the robotics industry and broader society, we need to not only press ahead on a wide range of issues, but also identify new ones emerging as quickly as the field is evolving. For instance, where military robots had received much attention in the past (and are still controversial today), this volume look...
Noica. Bătălia continuă
E cu putinţă ca un studiu despre Constantin Noica – unul care se respectă şi vrea să fie respectat – să fie scris de un literat? Noica are la noi statutul filosofului tare (faptul se explică poate tocmai prin absenţa unei filosofii tari în spaţiul cultural românesc) şi, în plus, a cam dezavuat literatura, considerând-o cumva frivolă. Poate chiar pe scriitori. Prin urmare, sînt toate datele ca acest fapt să pară cel puţin riscant. Dacă nu o insolenţă. Doar că Dorin Popescu, autorul cărţii, deşi absolvent de studii filologice, nu e numai ceea ce se numeşte îndeobşte prin literat; pe de altă parte, din confruntarea cu exerciţiul exegetic nici Constantin Noica nu mai iese la fel de încorsetat în tiparele prejudecăţilor. Altfel spus, nici Constantin Noica nu mai este Constantin Noica – aşa cum apare în tratatele despre filosofia românească. Mircea A. Diaconu
